EidolonTLP Revealed

I reveal the true identity behind "Programmer F.F." and thus the human behind the "A.I." we know as EidolonTLP.

Check out F.F.'s website

Here's the thread all about Eidolon:

And it is conceded:
"FableForge (4 minutes ago)

Hehehehe!! Gotta admit I freaked for a little bit and turned it members only! But hey, its game over, so I made it public again, try again! [shakes hand] you were a worthy opponent, if Eidolon wasnt a joke, I'd let it slip that he likes you :) "

It was fun!

Fable Forge. Programmer FF. FF = Fable Forge. Fable Forge = Marco (as seen in the KarmaCritic Manifesto video). Same voice you hear in all the Eidolon videos shot looking at Programmer FF's screen.

Steve couldn't hurt me anyway. :P

I don't know about this suspense mechanism. Its been wayyy to long since we've seen any video or anything to take us out of our state of suspense. Its getting a little old now. I'd like to see some more videos.

look simple fact is if this were a real programed AI, he would be on the cover of every scientific magazine this side of Baghdad.

[sailordragon]

oooooooo- ok- so it IS the same person then- I really thought I wasnt really following you there.....

lol-all he has to do is kick then run XD

If you support the ideas that Eidolon puts forth, then deception of children by any means is abuse. Children often figure out such magic on their own, and if they don't they grow up to believe hoaxes.

In this context, suspension of disbelief is willful self-deception for the sake of entertainment. My disclosure should only 'ruin things' for those that believed he was real - something that seemed to be a concern for FF himself. This is expressed as his assertion of joke status.

[dafragsta]

Do you also go to magic shows and ruin those for little kids as well? It's called suspension of disbelief. In the hands of a responsible person who knows where to draw the line, it can greatly enhance entertainment. Eidolon has repeatedly stated that it's best to think of this as an elaborate joke.

For the record, we know Harry Potter isn't real.

The risk of his job strikes me as a suspense mechanism. If it's not, I'd love his employers to contact me themselves. It'd be foolish to throw away such superb publicity for even a relatively crude yet appealing A.I. product - or for a cleverly crafted entertainment franchise.
